Canadian Rapper Drake has placed three huge wagers on the Los Angeles moneyline, Odell Beckham Jr. anytime touchdown prop, and Beckham Jr. to record over 62.5 receiving yards.

Beyond the sheer size of the three wagers, there are a couple interesting angles to consider here.
First, aside from faithfully supporting his beloved Toronto Raptors to a 2019 NBA Championship, Drake’s association with athletes and professional teams has a long-standing history of failure.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, University of Alabama, Serena Williams and Conor McGregor have all been associated with the “Drake Curse.”

Perhaps more interestingly, though, is that the wager was funded by BitCoin. Additionally, Odell Beckham Jr. is receiving his entire salary from the Rams in the cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, expect to see and hear more connections between cryptocurrencies, Super Bowl LVI and sports gambling.
Retired quarterback – and seven-time Super Bowl Champion – Tom Brady is set to appear in an FTX commercial during the big game Sunday, for example.
SportsBetting.ag is also offering a prop bet on how many Bored Ape appearances there will be during the halftime show. The line opened at over/under 1.5 appearances. There are also betting opportunities involving commercials being run by crypto exchanges.
